    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For the information of the Prime Minister, I have a document here that shows how the ballot will be tomorrow. The ballot is telling us that Sarah Bonaya will have no competition. We will vote “Yes” or “No”; the reason being that the PNU side of his Government is trying to protect the interest of KANU. So, if they want to do that, we have no problem. However, they can allow KANU to give us two more names so that we be seen to be voting rather than look like we are being taken to the bad old good days when we used to vote for one President by saying “Yes” or “No”. That was not the intention of the new Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is to the direction of the Prime Minister. His party, the ODM has only nine names. We expect that since you have five slots and you had many candidates, 65 of them, we expect that you give us 15 names from which to choose from and the criteria that you used to drop the other people so that Kenyans are not subjected to the whims of political party leaders. We want Kenyans to be subjected to a uniform standard. With those remarks, I move that you make a ruling."
